How do you go about balancing your training with your sport? In college it was easy. The coaches forced you to lift weights and work on sprint mechanics. Plus, if you had any dreams of getting on the field, you needed to do those things to beat out your competition. In powerlifting, bodybuilding, weight lifting, figure, strongman, bikini, etc. etc. it’s easy because your training

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m completely addicted to climbing. Like, not just that I really like it, but actually addicted. I can’t go more than 2 days without climbing, and that includes the days after a competition or 3 days straight of climbing in Red Rocks. I neeeeed it. Just take a look at my DudesWithTents blog.
One of the perils of being a self-proclaimed “pretty ‘ok’” trainer is that you have to read non-trainers give [typically horrible] advice to people on social media. I know, it’s my own fault for reading it, right? I’ve never claimed that I don’t have some self-destructive habits. Today I’m going to help you decide (convince) if you should hire a personal trainer. And if you

I’m at a loss. Can someone please explain this to me? I’m not following these things as close as I probably could, but I am absolutely baffled by the lawsuits that players are bringing towards the NFL. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love football. (Don’t confuse love with fanatic, pls.) It was my undying passion for 10+ years. I understand some of the “crazy”

After splurging for the past several weekends (’tis the season, amirite?), I was craving something really healthy. I had some unused quinoa in my cupboard so I hopped on the google machine and searched for some recipes. I like veggies, I like black beans, and I love simple flavors that mix together and create a party in my mouth. It was a no-brainer to choose

Better > Specific Or Specific > Better Or Better = Better ….in terms of reaching your fitness goals…
If you remember, I started a “minimalist diet” 3 weeks ago. I need to write something, so here we go…
Are these 2 songs great….or the great-est of all time? Exactly. And if you can handle going down this rabbit hole of outstanding magicalness, here’s a link to my Rick Astley Pandora station. Rick Astley on Pandora I swear to God, if I get any negative comments on this post, I’m calling Phil Collins to give

Holy crap!! I know a lot of you don’t follow climbing…..wait, let me rephrase that…..I know you don’t know anything about climbing, other than it looks really scary, but you have GOT to check out this video (sent to me by long time e-friend, noogles)! This video is a perfect example of why I think bodyweight training is whack. There is a time and

It’s 11:00pm on a Thirsty Thursday night. I am thirsty, and I wish I had a beer, but that’s not the case. Instead, I’m sitting here on my couch watching “Core”, getting totally pumped up to go climbing this weekend at Taylors Falls. In fact, I might do some push-ups (which has very little transfer to climbing, lolz) just so I can get totally jakt before
